Hello Hello Hivians and Hivers
"Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it"
This quote is attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu
As you may know I live in Scotland, and in particular in Kirkcaldy, a coastal town in the Kingdom of Fife.
Storm Bram hit the UK this week and yesterday morning it was heaving it down, raining cats and dogs.
Well thanks to the weekly contest from @qurator I can post that rain here!

This was opposite the Raith Rovers Football Stadium.
You can see the rain chucking it down. Of course being winter here it is still dark at 6.50 in the morning.
It is quite tricky to actually only choose one picture, so here are a few more that are a variation on that first picture.

This was the scene next door at the same time this morning! A lot drier and brighter without Storm Bram! Yes I did have the auto light on.
